Scary Movie (2000)
While I do love my scary movies, there’s nothing better than a good parody movie, and Scary Movie is probably at the top of that list. This early 2000s movie that started off an entire franchise follows the story of a group of teenagers who hit a man with their car accidentally and decide to dispose of his body, but eventually, they are all hunted down one by one – in hilarious fashion. I literally don’t think you can get a better parody movie than this one.

Black Swan is an Academy-Award winning film directed by Darren Aronofsky and starring Natalie Portman.

![Philip Sledge](https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/TfrEhcVUBHD2W6zZURCqFc.png)
Philip grew up in Louisiana (not New Orleans) before moving to St. Louis after graduating from Louisiana State University-Shreveport. When he's not writing about movies or television, Philip can be found being chased by his three kids, telling his dogs to stop barking at the mailman, or chatting about professional wrestling to his wife. Writing gigs with school newspapers, multiple daily newspapers, and other varied job experiences led him to this point where he actually gets to write about movies, shows, wrestling, and documentaries (which is a huge win in his eyes). If the stars properly align, he will talk about For Love Of The Game being the best baseball movie of all time.
